Indian stock markets are likely to open flat on Tuesday, according to futures trading on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). The BSE Sensex and the broader Nifty have been under pressure this month, but positive trading in Asian stocks, may support domestic equities today.

Shares of fertiliser, irrigation systems and agri machinery manufacturers were in limelight today, rising as much as 10.6 per cent, after the government said monsoon this year is expected to be normal.

NSE Nifty was trading flat on Monday as metal firms such as Tata Steel and lenders rallied after the government set minimum import prices for steel products to help a heavily indebted sector struggling to compete against shipments from abroad.

Prices were also supported by comments from western diplomats that a nuclear deal with Iran was unlikely by a June 30 deadline and that the oil producer would not get sanctions relief before the end of the year in the best of cases.
